Description
The slender-billed finch (Xenospingus concolor) is a species of bird in the tanager family Thraupidae. It is the only member of the genus Xenospingus. It is restricted to southwest Peru and northern Chile, and inhabits mainly riverine vegetation along coastal valleys. It has been considered endangered due to loss of habitat. Riparian thickets that were common are under pressure from logging by farm owners. Some information has indicated that it has adapted to threats by using olive tree plantations and other artificial habitats successfully.

Feeding Habits
Slender-billed Finch primarily feeds on insects, supplemented occasionally by seeds and fruit. Slender-billed Finch forages in dense shrubbery, gleaning insects from foliage, often in pairs or family groups.
Habitat
The slender-billed Finch favors desert valleys enriched with dense riparian shrubs, commonly near grasslands. This bird adapts to cultivated areas, notably olive groves, and thrives among native flora such as Prosopis pallida and Tessaria integrifolia. It is also found amidst introduced vegetation like Chinese tamarisk, with a critical reliance on the presence of native trees and shrubs.
